AbstractA case report of anomalous origin and branching pattern of right external carotid artery found during the dissection of human cadavers is reported here. Knowledge of anatomical variations of external carotid artery is especially important in head & neck surgeries. This knowledge is also important for radiologists in the image interpretation. In the case reported here, the right external carotid artery gave direct origin of one of dorsal lingual artery, two stylomastoid arteries, muscular artery and lymph nodal artery along with its normal eight branches. Generally the dorsal lingual arteries are two arising from lingual artery. Contrary to that, in this case the dorsal lingual arteries were found arising one from front of external carotid artery and other from lingual artery, and both these arteries communicated at 4mm beyond their origin. The two stylomastoid arteries arising directly from the front of external carotid artery 4mm above the facial artery were found arising with a gap of 2mm distance from one another. Muscular artery arose directly from the posterior aspect of external carotid artery opposite the anomalous dorsal lingual artery and descended downwards and forwards in its course giving small twigs to surrounding muscles . Lymph nodal artery arising just beside the muscular artery opposite to facial artery passed downwards and laterally and divided into two small twigs to supply a pair of lymph nodes. These lymph nodes are deep cervical nodes measuring about 5x5 mm in size hard in consistency on histopathological examination, found to be nonmalignant.

Vascular Area

The results of treatment through continuous arterial infusion of anticancer drugs in 40 patients with malignant tumors, localized in the vascular area of the external carotid artery, are reported. Most of carcinomas belonged to the oral and pharingeal cavities. The external carotid artery was catheterized directely in 5 cases and indirectely in 28 cases (mostly through the superficial temporal artery); in 6 cases the lingual artery and in 3 cases the facial artery were used. The drugs and total doses employed were as follows: amethopterin (30–150 mg in 10 cases), triethylen-thiophosphoramide (60–300 mg in 9 cases), cyclophosphamide (800–6000 mg in 8 cases), daunomycin (40–280 mg in 8 cases), mitomycin C (20–40 mg in 2 cases), nitrogen mustard (10 mg in 2 cases), busulfan (35 mg in 1 case). The arterial infusion lasted from a minimum of 4 hours to a maximum of 14 days with an average of 6–12 days. In 19 cases (46,5 %) an objective improvement with significant but incomplete regression of the tumor was obtained. The improvement lasted from a minimum of 1 month to a maximum of 8 months. In this study, amethopterin was the most active compound, but only slightly more active than cyclophosphamide and daunomycin. Six patients died because of complications secondary to therapy. The indications and the technique of arterial infusion with anticancer drugs in tumors of the vascular area of the external carotid artery are discussed, as well as the complications related with this type of treatment. The literature about this subject is also reviewed.

Common Trunk

The present study describes analytically a rare case in which lingual and facial arteries arise together from an external carotid artery in a common trunk. Thirty anatomic dissections were performed on 15 cadavers in the macroscopic laboratory in the Department of Anatomy of the Medical School of National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. One common trunk from which originated lingual and facial arteries was found. The frequency of this morphology is measured at 6 per cent. The length of the common trunk is measured at 7.3 mm between its origin and its diversion at the facial artery and lingual artery, its diameter at 2.8 mm, its distance from carotid bifurcation at 7.9 mm, and from the superior thyroid artery at 3.3 mm. At the left side of the neck region, facial and lingual arteries arose separately. The anatomic variations of the branching pattern of the external carotid artery and the micrometric values of the vessels are especially important as a result of the numerous operations performed in the neck region that implicate various specialties such as general surgery, head and neck surgery, plastic surgery, and maxillofacial surgery.

Artery Embolization

We performed emergent angiography of the external carotid artery to evaluate a patient who experienced uncontrollable oropharyngeal bleeding 3 days following an adenotonsillectomy. Angiography demonstrated a left lingual artery disruption and hemorrhage. We then performed a coil embolization of the left lingual artery, which immediately halted the hemorrhage. We conclude that coil embolization is a rapid and effective strategy for the management of massive, uncontrollable postoperative tonsillar bleeding.

Study Design: Descriptive cross-sectional. Objective: The origin of the lingual artery (LA) has been well studied due to its implication in neck dissection, but the course thereafter to the oral cavity is less described. This cadaveric study traced the journey of the LA from the external carotid artery to its terminal branches in the tongue. Methods: Following bilateral neck dissections in 35 black Kenyan cadavers, the incidence of Beclard’s, Lesser’s and Pirogoff’s triangles, the types of LA origin with its length, relationship to the hyoglossus muscle and anastomosis with other vessels were documented. Results: Beclard’s triangle was found in 64 dissections (91.42%), Lesser’s in 46 dissections (65.71%) and Pirogoff’s in 39 dissections (55.71%). The LA presented either as a solitary branch (67.15%) or as a branch of either the linguofacial (LFT–24.29%), thyrolingual (TLT–2.72%) or thyrolinguofacial (TLFT–2.86%) trunk. The solitary LA was the longest at 6.93 mm, followed by the TLT branch (6.58 mm), LFT branch (6.12 mm) and TLFT branch (5.65 mm). The majority of solitary LA and LA branches of LFT and TLFT passed through the hyoglossus, while all LA branches of the TLT coursed medial to the muscle. All variants of LA have been found to anastomose with the submental artery (SMA) at frequencies that ranged from 11.10% to 100%. Conclusions: The LA was found in all cadavers and all Beclards’ triangles. There is a significant incidence of LFT and TLFT variants in the Kenyan population. The LA passed either through or medial to the hyoglossus with no lateral relationship being observed.

AbstractDuring routine dissection of an adult male cadaver, a unique case of anomalous origin of linguofacial trunk from both the right and left external carotid arteries with no looping of lingual artery in its course and relative higher division of right common carotid artery at C3 vertebral level was observed. Although variations in the external carotid artery origin and branches are not uncommon it is necessary to document as these variations may increase the risk of accidental vascular trauma during head and neck surgeries. And this knowledge is also important for radiologists in the image interpretation of carotid arterial system.

Giant arterio venous malformation (AVM) of the tongue and floor of mouth are rare. They become life threatening when ignored by the patients. Treatment protocols are not well established. This report describes the treatment of a 35 years old female who presented to us with complains of swelling of tongue, floor of mouth and left sub mandibular region since 15 years causing dysphagia, and oral bleed since one day. Magnetic resonance Angiography revealed a giant AVM at the above site with dilated left external carotid artery (ECA) and left lingual artery. Patient underwent ECA ligation under general anaesthesia and serial injection sclerotherapy at the local site. After 3 months and 6 cycles of sclerotherapy, the patient had a satisfactory outcome. A detailed report with review of literature is presented.

Background: External carotid artery (ECA) is the main artery of head and neck region. It has eight named branches to maintain a rich vascularity of most of the structures of head and neck. The present study was undertaken to assess external diameter of ECA at origin and branching pattern of ECA. Methods: A total of 100 carotid specimens of 50 human cadavers (24 males and 26 females) were dissected in the Department of Anatomy at medical colleges and diameter and branching pattern of ECA were noted. Results: The diameter of ECA at its origin was in the ranged between 4.5 to 8 mm with mean of 6.676±0.8053 mm. 77% cases showed normal branching pattern of ECA, the commonest variation was the occurrence of linguofacial trunk (18%) and occipitiauricular trunk (4%). STA and lingual artery (LA) arose commonly from ECA in 71(71%) and 94 cases (94%) respectively. The origin of STA from ECA was statistically significant on left side (56.3%) compare to right (43.7%). Facial artery (FA), occipital artery (OA) and posterior auricular artery (PAA) arises as single branch and common trunk on right and left side. The accessory branches was observed to be present in total 3(3%) cases including 1(33.33%) on right and 2(66.66%) on left side. Conclusion: The present study revealed that the number of branches and branching pattern of ECA is variable and this variations do have a significant role in the various applications of anatomy of ECA for example in embolization, chemotherapy, cervical discectomy, thyroid surgeries etc.
